FAMED ORGANIST
Shure Gives Program Wednesday
Including His Composition
"Through Palestine."
Ralph Deane Shure, Ameri
can composer and organist, who
will play here Wednesday even
ing, November 15, has received
wide acclaim for the composition
he will play, "Through Pales
tine." The concert has been re
ported to be tremendously ef
fective by music critics through
out the country. 4
A critical discussion and
praise of Shure's music appear
ed in the February issue of
"The American Organist." The
music is played at the same
time that a narrator reads the
passages that inspired the mu
sic, ',
Expresses Songs
Shure, a modernist and an
impressionist, chooses not to
write songs but to express the
songs through the organ music.
With the organist concealed . as
well as the narrator, the lights
dim, the music, mystical in qual
ity and impressionistic in vein,
has been said to create literally
a new sensation in emotional ef
fect. .
The music fraternity, Phi Mu
Alpha, is bringing Shure to the
University in a concert that re
presents the .first venture of
this group in an effort to spon
sor well established American
composers and musicians. The
proceeds of this concert will go
to the benefit of the University
Glee club.

New Light Shed On Old Carolina
"Kissing Tree" Found In Arboretum
- ' o
Co-eds Pretend Ignorance of Venerated Trysting Place but Staff
Member Discovers That Even Squirrels Have Learned
To Use Romantic Setting Effectively.
. o
The Kissing Tree! The spot
where new loves have begun and
where old loves have been re
newed. The tree around which
the spirits of other lovers are
always hovering to bestow their
blessing on each couple who
visit the tree.
Yeah but where is this Kiss
ing Tree? It is not the old
Davie Poplar, is it? To be
sure, it isn't old Davie or any
other tree in the center of the
campus. A tree where sweet
hearts meet and kiss and renew
promises would quite properly
be in a more secluded spot.
Though many people know
nothing of the Kissing Tree,
and co-eds slyly deny knowledge
of its existence, there is such a
tree on the campus. It is a wil
low which stands in the arbore
tum just to the rear of Howell
hall in a spot which has been
the scene of more than one
scorching party for two. From
the point of view of this willow
the word "neck" is certainly a
verb and not a noun.
Nature Is Kind "a
"Neckademically" speaking,
the Kissing Tree is most favor
ably located. It grows beside
one of the smaller, less-frequented
paths, bordered on one side
by thick shrubs and on the other
side by a clump of magnolia
trees. It so happens that the
spot around the Kissing Tree
lies out of range of the search
lights whieE shine from the roof
of Spencer hall.

He is an alumnus of the Univer

became a trysting place for lov
ers through an accidental dis
covery. Two lovers strolling
through the arboretum happen
ed to take this dark path. As
they walked slowly along they
found their way barred by part
of the trunk of this old tree
which extended over the path.
It formed a sort of rest where
one might recline, and at the
base of the tree was a natural
seat.
In the Beginning
The strolling couple paused
here, and, it being a likely spot,
the kiss was enacted. History
gives no detailed account of this
first kiss. However, the tree
did become a popular place for
lovers to stop,; when strolling in
the arboretum. Frequent usage
eventually gave rise to the pres
ent name.
Mary Dirnberger has indi
cated the spot on her map . of
Chapel . Hill by drawing the tree
to resemble two lovers in a
clinch. The upper branches of
the tree are represented by two
human heads drawn close to
gether in a kissing pose. She
identifies the spot by showing
its proximity to the magnolia
clump and to a small early
spring plum tree. The map
showing the exact location of
the Kissing Tree hangs in the
Bull's Head book shop; There
is also such a map in the fresh
man handbook. " -

LECTURER URGES
SUPPORT OF NRA
Dr. Zimmermann Declares That
President Should Be Backed
In Lowering Costs.
"I feel strongly that the Presi
dent should be supported in his
policy," said Dr. Erich W. Zim
mermann last night in speaking
on "The International Aspects of
the National Recovery Pro
gram." This was the fifth lec
ture in the series on the NRA
sponsored by the school of com
merce, the law school, and the
sociology department.
Dr. Zimmermann stated the
belief that the philosophy be
hind the NRA is the hope that
it will eventually lower the cost
of production although at pres
ent, through higher wages, it is
raising the cost of production in
order to cause a greater pur
chasing power.
Must Protect Industry
"If labor in a certain indus
try is put under certain regula
tions, then we must protect that
industry from competition with
an industry in a country where
the conditions of labor are en
tirely different," stated Dr. Zim
mermann in regard to the tariff.
He also mentioned that he be
lieved the United States will
stabilize the dollar when the ap
propriate time comes.
At the lecture next Thursday
night Dr. T. J. Woof ter of the
sociology department: who has
-
been a member of the staff work
ing on the details of the plan
which the Tennessee Valley Au
thority is to carry out, will
speak on the subject, "The Ten
nessee Valley Project."
